ScienceCasts Video: Close Encounter with Enceladus

NASA’s Cassini Spacecraft is about to make a daring plunge through one of the plumes emerging from Saturn’s moon Enceladus. Cassini was launched in 1997 and entered orbit around Saturn in 2004. Since then, it has been studying the huge planet, its rings and its magnetic field. This short video details the mission’s upcoming close flyby of Enceladus.
